Many people have been waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 not only because it is one of the faster and snappier tablets out there but also because it enjoys 4G LTE data speeds from Verizon’s network. Overall performance should be a breeze with this tablet, courtesy of its 1.0-GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 1 GB of RAM, and Android 3.1 Honeycomb.

Expected price for the 16-GB version is US$530 with a new 2-year contract with Verizon. A 32-gigabyte version is also available for US$630. Contract-free prices are US$630 and US$730 for the 16-GB and 32-GB models, respectively.

Said to be the “thinnest and lightest large-screen” tablet, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be available in two colors: white and black/metallic grey. The white version will be exclusively available via direct fill orders (through sales line orders or online orders).
